I'm taking a hard stance...against veterans. If they do not properly vet a college (i.e. Ensure that the school is accredited) then the onus lays at the feet of the veteran to be aware...caveat emptor or "To the buyer beware"

I'm not even sure what the issue is...if the school & program wasn't accredited the VA would've never approved it. That list is hard-coded in the system. This lawsuit seems more about aggressive/deceptive marketing tactics than accreditation.

First, all colleges are out to make money, rather they are non-profit or for profit. They have to make money to keep the doors open. And, many "non-profit organizations" have been shut down for fraud.
The veteran can not be protected by their leaders and uncle same for ever. They need to learn to look out for their own well being.
However, if these institutions did in fact deceive the veterans by promising them jobs upon graduation, and did not deliver, shame on them and they should be cut off. We are talking about VA and tax payer money here. It is the VAs responsibility to ensure the money is being spent at reputable institutions that are providing a competitive and useful education to our veterans.

If your looking at the bottom line of getting jobs from the education they receive then they need to look at all colleges and universities and not just single out non-profits. There are instances where the charges in this article used against non-profits could easily be used against many state educational institutes.
